“Christmas is my favorite holiday,” says artist Joyce Lyle. “It’s a very busy time for our family. We sing in the church choir and play hand bells. And we enjoy making and giving gifts. To me, this design symbolizes what Christmas is all about.” she continues. “Jesus was the best gift of all.” The design is of an Angel kneeling beside and watching over the Baby Jesus.

“Happy Birthday, Jesus” is included in a group of ornaments called Artists’ Favorites. These designs reflect the personal interests and memories of the artists who create them. Look for Joyce’s signature on this ornament
